Welcome to Cooks Landing! A 3 bedroom 2 bath ground floor luxury villa (18H) in the prestigious Hali'i Kai gated condominium community of Waikoloa Beach.
Includes gourmet kitchen, full sized washer and dryer, detached garage plus another reserved parking space. Access to fabulous private Ocean Club facility (pool, hot tub, exercise cabana, bar and restaurant) that sits right on the water with spectacular views. Private tennis and basketball court. A great paradise vacation condo for couples and families with kids!

Beach accessories (beach towels, sand toys, umbrella, chairs, etc) are available for guest use at the condo. But if you lose it or misuse it, please replace it! There are two flat-screen TVs with cable service and complimentary wifi service; elegant dining table with seating for up to 6 people plus additional 4 bar stools; gourmet granite countertops and stainless-steel kitchen with African mahogany cabinets; covered lanai with alfresco dining table for 4 and a private gas BBQ; full size washer-dryer in a separate laundry room right in the unit; and a designated parking space steps from the front door, right by the tennis and pickle ball courts and basketball hoop.

The Ocean Club, Hali'i Kai's exclusive oceanfront owner's club, with 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, perfect for viewing the migrating whales, occasional canoe races, as well as the breathtaking sunsets. The Ocean Club features a large black bottom lagoon-style, multi-level swimming pool with a soothing waterfall and a heated lava rock spa with a sandy bottom. There is also a poolside bar and grill, and outdoor covered lounge area along with a do-it-yourself BBQ area. And you'll almost forget you're working out while watching TV or gazing out at the azure blue sea while the waves crash on lava rock at the state-of-the-art Exercise Cabana. During the migrating humpback whale season (November-April), you will enjoy a front row seat as these magnificent mammals hug the coastline offering a perfect viewing location. With 340 sunny days a year and less than 10 inches of annual rainfall this is the ultimate place to relax. Upon arrival, you will need to check in at the guest cottage and pay $25 per day resort fee for your entire party to enjoy unlimited access to the Ocean Club. Open from 8am to 8pm for swimming, sunning, and serving lunch, happy hour, and dinner daily.

We provide a guest welcome binder notebook in the condo with recommendation of places to go, see, and do.

Waikoloa Beach resorts boast of the Kings and the Queens Shops with their world class shops and restaurants. Famous Anaeho’omalu Bay, better known as A’Bay, is a beautiful, crescent shaped white sand beach, only 1.5 miles away, a very short drive or a 20 minute walk. From the Ocean Club, a black sand beach is about a 10-15 minute walk to the north and the Hilton resort complex with its beach, lagoon, and dolphin swim area is about a 10-15 minute walk to the south. Of course, there are several other wonderful beaches like the world famous Hapuna Beach a short drive (20 minutes) up the coast.

From Kailua-Kona (KOA) airport, you will want to rent a car. The condo is about a 30 minute easy drive from the airport.
This is a no smoking property.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is located in the beautiful Waikiola resort area and the house is well stocked with kitchen items, towels and lots of beach items. Kristi and Jim are extremely communicative and welcoming. I hope to return to the Big Island again soon and would love to stay at Cooks Landing again!!

The condo was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed to cook our meals. We also enjoyed dining at the Ocean Club which had friendly service and reasonable prices. Hali'i Kai is a beautifully maintained property and great home base for exploring the island. Definitely recommend.

Ocean Club fees at $ 20 (now $25) per day was excessive . Pool was not very clean. Did not use it because of that. Ocean club Cafe service and food was good. Seating and comfort was lacking in living room. Living room could use a make over. Overall we were satisfied with stay.

This property was WONDERFUL! The hosts are so accommodating and beyond easy to communicate with. My family loved the pool restaurant and the sunsets while watching the whales. If you have kids this rental is for you! So many beach chairs and toys for you and your family to use. When we come back to the Big Island we will 100% stay here again and recommend it to all our friends.

Good location for all BIG island activities including hiking, star gazing, helicopter rides to mention but a few. Waikoloa resort is great and easy for relaxing or activity filled vacation. This condo has everything you can imagine you’d need. Owner is easy to communicate with and very responsive to minor hiccup experienced during our stay. Highly recommended.

The house was amazing to stay at. Easy access to tennis court and basketball court. Not a bad walk to the Ocean club for drinks and dinner and a swim in the pool. Location is pretty central to many activities. Will highly recommend to other family and friends.

We have traveled a lot, stayed in some very nice places - this one takes the cake! The condo was perfectly suited for our family of five. We had everything we needed for our stay plus some extras, like boogie boards, beach chairs & umbrellas, snorkeling gear, golf clubs, basketball....the hosts have thought of everything. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need if you are cooking meals "at home". The absolute only downside is some of the decor could use a refresh - but really, just go outside and who cares about the indoor decor! :) Access to the Ocean Club was incredible - the food was good, the pools beautiful and not too crowded, and the scenery AMAZING. The Club overlooks the water and the sunsets are out of this world. The condo is close to shopping, Starbucks, and a few restaurants (we preferred to eat at the Ocean Club if we weren't on another part of the island). There are some beautiful trails right off the Ocean Club if you like hiking, and the condo is super close to the amazing Hapuna Beach. The hosts leave a cute little welcome basket upon arrival and were very responsive. I can't say enough about this gem and about the Big Island in general. Fabulous, fabulous vacation. We were very sad to leave!

Highly recommend Cooks Landing. The hosts communicated timely and provided a wealth of information for activities on the Big Island. Condo sits in a pleasant gated community with an oceanside pool and restaurant/bar. The condo is well stocked for the beach with chairs, umbrella and towels. Nice kitchen and outdoor grill for meals inside.

This is a long overdue family vacation. Unfortunately there are three of the family members couldn’t come ( lucky wasn’t because of the covid, lol). For the three of us who have made it had great time there. The condo is in very good location with good condition. We did not cook in the condo because we have been out hiking and sightseeing most of time. But you can cook your own meals if you like .

I think the property was located in the best spot for easy access to all areas of the island both walking and driving. The added feature of a gated community was nice but only 2 keys provided for our party of 5. Having a kitchen very handy to cook since restaurants very busy. Club house was fabulous and within walking distance for drinks and dining and home had numerous toys in garage that we enjoyed.



July 2021
The neighborhood/resort is landscaped beautifully. The unit is well appointed with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. We had a group of 7 adults and had plenty of room.
